The underground mine is now closed for the winter.

 This is because bats will be roosting in the workings and must not be disturbed.

 

Open Sundays at the visitor centre will re-commence in the spring.  Visits & tours above ground can still be organised by contacting us.

 

The 2011 open weekend was very successful with more than 600 visitors over the two days

 

We will be running another event next year
